The seat came out of a 91 F150. Its a direct bolt in, I just had to change over the slider brackets.

Yea, I've been looking at the seat in my 91 (just like the one in your photo) and thinkin' how good it would look in my 76. Looks good in yours.

mine not perfect, it has a few cigarette holes in it and a rip in the seat. Its a lot better than the old one. most of the foam on the drivers side was gone and a seat spring would come up and poke me once in a while. Only payed $50 at the junkyard though.

Nice swap on the seat, I did the same thing on my 79. You should have snagged the seatbelts as well though.


Piece of cake swap, bolt the old tracks on the new seat. Hardest part for me was getting the seats out and in by myself.
